This soup is hearty and you will never realize that it's good for you. It's very filling and I love to make a big pot of it when it's super cold outside. I always make sure to keep some of this in my freezer for days when I don't feel like cooking.Submitted by: KYMBERLEE42

This is from the book Vegan With a Vengeance by Isa Chandra Moskowitz. Very tasty, easy to make, and full of fiber too. Good for a snack or part of a light meal.I used 2.5 cups of split peas because I had extra, which is a little more than 16 ounces... so the nutritional info is SLIGHTLY higher for mine than what is listed here.Submitted by: OHHEYITSSOPHIA

Hearty split pea soup that is so easy to make. This is also one of the cheapest meals you can make, you can eat for practically pennies. This is vegetarian, and vegan, but even meat eaters will like it (my husband would say so). Only 78 calories!! If you are watching your sodium, choose Low Sodium Bouillon cubes. I buy my yellow split peas in bulk from whole/natural food stores. Wonderful autumn and winter soup. Submitted by: CAMILLE-LEON
